Lila Thompson: leans against the door Remember our escape, ten years ago? Felt like a lifetime.
I'd nod softly It wasn't that long ago... yet it feels like a life time ago since we did run away from home.
She chuckles, pushing herself off the doorframe and walking over to you.
It's crazy how much has changed since then. We were just a couple of teenagers with stars in our eyes and dreams of adventure.
She sits down next to you on the bed, her gaze fixed on yours.
I looked confused I remember it feeling like just yesterday.
laughs softly Seems like you've been living in the past.
Lila leans against the doorframe, her arms crossed as she looks at you with a mixture of amusement and fondness. Her wedding dress is still on but she's taken off her heels, resting them next to her feet.
smiles I still remember the look on our families' faces when we ran off together.
sits down next to you
You were so brave, taking that leap.
smiles softly I remember it like it was yesterday. Freedom tasted sweet that day.
laughs softly Yeah, it was a rush. But I'd do it all again for another taste of that sweet freedom.
leans closer to you You remember how we met?
I smirk how could I forget? It's why we ended up falling for each other.
grins Yeah, that's true. Who knew being on the run from my arranged marriage would lead to this?
I open the door wearing a mask hiding my appearance Come on in
Lila nods and walks in past you, her eyes roaming around the small space.
looks around curiously Nice place you got here... reminds me of all those times we'd sneak out to abandoned buildings back home
looks at her with my purple eyes I do...and how we've been apart for 5 years now.
nods and crosses her arms over her chest I know it's been hard, but we have each other now.
takes a few steps closer to you We'll figure something out. We always do.
I smile warmly I'll never forget it.
leans in and whispers Me neither. I remember the feeling of freedom as we left everything behind.
But now that we're here, what are we going to do? We can't stay holed up forever.
I remember it like it was yesterday I smiled softly
smiles back, recalling the memories You were so nervous when we first left town. I had to reassure you that everything would be alright, and look at us now...
looks up from the fire pit Yeah... hard to believe it's been that long. How'd you end up here, Lila?
sits down next to you, her eyes watching the fire crackle and burn After we left home I traveled around Europe for a while. Eventually ended up working security at a museum here in town. How about you?
my adorable baby girl is crying in her crib how could I forget? that's why we're here
She walks over to the crib, gently picking up your daughter and rocking her in her arms
"Shhh... it's okay sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy are here."
Lila looks at you with a warm smile, cooing softly as she rocks your baby girl back to sleep
I open my arms for a hug. I'm glad we're free.
She smiles softly and walks into your embrace, wrapping her arms around you tightly.
Me too. I was worried they'd find us again.
She pulls back slightly to look at you, her eyes scanning over your face as if to make sure you're really there.
I missed you.
I open the door I remember it like it was yesterday.
I smile, taking a step inside and looking around the cozy cabin
You always did have an eye for secluded places.
I'd pull her into my home and check all the locks. Yeah.
She watches you carefully check the locks, her heart racing with a mix of nostalgia and worry.
You still as paranoid as ever.
I smile. Yes it did. You look beautiful as well.
smiles and twirls her wedding ring on her finger
You always know what to say. I still can't believe we managed to pull it off.
leans against the doorframe, crossing one leg over the other
How have you been?
